Congratulations to all those successful this year. Positions in both choirs are of course dependant on regular attendance at rehearsals, and continued commitment to Choir and or Male Voice Choir.

The first rehearsal for both groups is Wednesday 9th September 2015.

If you have received a place in Vocal Ensemble, you must email us your email address to Beaumont.Music@beaumont.herts.sch.uk as soon as you see this, even if you think we already have it.

 To all those not successful this time around, we were really impressed with your singing, and encourage you to continue to attend our choirs, to develop further.

Ms Doan and Mr Guinane

King's Singers: Gold

These guys turn 50 this year. Obviously none of them is 50 years old, but if you don't know this group, then you should get to know them. Formed in 1968, this all six-piece male vocal ensemble have made a name for their stunning singing, ranging from Renaissance polyphony to arrangement of more current hits. For me, I have always loved going through the huge numbers of arrangements that they have made available to us. Most of them are really approachable by the amateur ensemble, and over the years, some of their arrangements have become real Vocal Ensemble favourites. I try to make a point of teaching And So it Goes  to every cohort, and this, along with Lonesome Road and She's Always a Woman  will remain very dear to past and present members' hearts. The King's Singers have recently released Gold , a three-album compilation to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. Listen to it here . Vocal Ensemble, I look forward to taking you to their concert in January.  ...
